PIPE-WRENCH WITH CUTTER.

EPECEFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 350,199, dated October 5, 1886.

Application hled May 15, 1886.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HARvEv HUnLnR, a citizen of the United States, residing at XVest Salem, in the county of \Vayne and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Iniproveinent in IipeTongs and Gutters, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in pipe tongs and cutters; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of de vices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Figure l is an elevation of my invention, partly in section, when adapted for use as a pipecutter. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same when adapted for use as pipe-tongs. Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken 011 theline :r .r of Fig. 1. Fig. at is a detail view of the movable rod carrying the cutter, and Fig. 5 is a detail view of the key.

A represents the main portion or head of my improved device, 'in one side of which is pivoted a lever-arm, '3, having at its inner end a 0am, (I.

D represents an endwise-nioving rod, which is secured in a longitudinal slot made in the head A, and is provided atits inner end with an anti-friction roller, E, which bears against the face of the cam. As shown in Fig. 2, the outer end of the rod D is serrated or roughened, as at F.

G represents a bar which slides in an opening made in' the opposite side of the head A, and which projects beyond the ends of the said head for a considerabledistance. On the inner side of the bar G, at about the central portion thereof, is made a series of ratchetteeth, The rear arm or end of the said bar forms a handle or lever, and the front end thereof is bent to fOlDl a semi-hexagonal engaging-arm, g. The inner sides of the said arm are also SQII'Z'IiOtt or roughened, as shown in Fig. 2.

H represents an oblique-moving key, which is inserted in an opening made in the head A, and is provided 011 its plane side with serrations or teeth 71 adapted to engage the ratchetteeth of the bar G. In one side of the said.

Serial No. 202,246. (No model.)

key is made an inclined slot, 7L. Aset-screw, I, passes through one side of the head A, and the inner end of the said screw enters the slot 71 thereby securing the key in the head and perinittingit to be moved back and forth in an oblique direction therein.

\V hen thus constructed, the apparatus is adapted to be used as a pipe-tongs. The pipe (which is represented by a dotted circle) is sccured within the inclined sides of the arm 9 by extending the rod G forwardly for a suitable distance from the head A, and then drawing the said rod rearwardly and securing it to the said head by means of the key. The operator then grasps the rear arm of the bar G and also the lever-arm B with one hand and draws the said 1ever-ar1n toward the bar G, thus causing the rod D to be moved forwardly by the cam, and its serrated outer end to bear firmly against the inner side of the pipe, thus firmly holding the same, as will be very readily understood.

I11 Fig. 1 the device is shown as a pipecutter. In the inclined sides of the arm 9 are pivoted anti-friction-rollers (I, and in the outer end of the movable rod D is journaled acutting-disk, (I. The pipe to be cut is clamped between the said friction-rollers and the cutting-disk, and the apparatus is caused to 1'0 tate 011 the pipe, with the cutting-disk. bearing firmly against the pipe until the latter is severed.

Having thus described my invention, T clain1 1. The combination of thehead A, the endwisc-niovi 11g rod G, provided with the ratchetteeth 1/ and the arm the key H in the head, having the teeth It to engage the teeth 9, and the diagonal slot or groove h, the screw I in the head, entering the said slot or groove, the cam-lever pivoted to the head, and the endwise-nioving rod 1.), having its inner end bearing against the cam, substantially as described.

2. The combination of thehead A, the endwise-n'ioving bar G, having the hook-arm g and the rollers a, the pivoted earn-lever B, and the movable rod D, bearing against the cam and having the rotating cnttingdisk at its outer end, for the purpose set forth, snbstan- In testimony that I claim the foregoing as tially as described. my own I have hereto affixed my signature in 3. lhe combination of the head A, the end presence of two witnesses.
